description: >-
  OpenClinica offers two editions. The Community Edition is free and open source
  (LGPL) and self-hostable, with the full EDC platform but no vendor support or
  services. The Enterprise Edition is a fully supported, hosted (SaaS) build with
  onboarding, validation, security, and SLAs, sold via contact-sales; published
  third-party listings put Enterprise starting around USD 1,000/month, with
  actual pricing scoped to studies, participants, sites, and support level. The
  REST API itself carries no separate fee - it is included with whichever edition
  you run. Exact Enterprise rates are not reconciled here.
notes: >-
  The ~$1,000/month starting figure comes from third-party software directories,
  not an official OpenClinica price list; OpenClinica sells Enterprise by quote.
  Verify current editions and pricing with OpenClinica sales during
  reconciliation.
